Just take it somewhere else, please,

My goal was to cut to the chase and see if anyone can point to
specific, demonstrable points of superiority of Linux over Windows for
audio work - and as a clear demonstration of this point out what pros
are using it for money-making audio work. Not sure what more
appropriate group there would be to ask this in than this group.

Not trying to be an ass, but if the topic is truly odious to you, I
don't 'spose you consider simply simply ignoring it to be an option?
Does the mere appearance of the subject line and the knowledge it
exists rankle your sensibilities to an unbearable degree?

What Scott was saying is that if you do a Google Groups search for this newsgroup with the search term "Linux" you will have an immediate and complete answer to your question. If the discussion starts again, it will only be a repeat of the information that is already available to you, right now.
